Nu and the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team recently announced a multi-year partnership that will make Nu an Official Team Partner from the 2026 Formula One season, using on- and off-track branding to reach the sport’s hundreds of millions of fans worldwide.
This tie-up is particularly important because it targets Nu’s core Latin American markets while also supporting its planned expansion into the United States and other international geographies, positioning the brand alongside one of Formula One’s most successful teams.
Next, we’ll examine how this high-profile Formula One sponsorship, especially its focus on Latin America and the U.S., influences Nu’s investment narrative.

For Nu to make sense in a portfolio, you have to buy into a very simple idea: this is a digital-first bank trying to scale far beyond its Latin American roots while keeping credit quality and profitability intact. The Formula One partnership with Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS fits neatly into that story as a brand and customer acquisition play, especially across Brazil, Mexico, Colombia and a potential U.S. entry. Given Nu’s already strong revenue and earnings growth, plus a share price sitting only modestly below consensus targets, the sponsorship is unlikely to move near-term financial catalysts on its own, but it could influence how efficiently Nu can grow in new markets. The bigger swing factors in the short term still look like credit performance, monetization per customer and regulatory progress in the U.S. and Mexico.
However, investors should also weigh how higher marketing spend might interact with credit and margin risks. Nu Holdings’ shares are on the way up, but they could be overextended by 50%. Uncover the fair value now.
